Finally got some jewelery!
 

Finally after many, many years in the blind I finally got a band of my own! Couldn't have been happier because it was just my brother and me there to share it. He is the one that has always brought me when I was younger and we still share our love for hunting and fishing together!!! He was just as excited as I was! A big thunderstorm (Lighting as well) ran us out of our blind early so we only ended up with 4, but it was a lot slower action then opening morning...Forgot to take pics of opening morning but ended up with our limit for 4 people...Head shot on banded blue wing.....

nice band man, i killed my first one last year

Like that head shot!!!!

Congradulations Goose!

I Still don't have any "jewelry", been hunting about 10 years longer than you!

Good thing you didn't shoot it in the foot, no jewelry!

congrats dood..when u get ya first band..they seem to start coming easy..i shot mah first band..wood duck...3 seasons ago...since then ive shot 6..and 2 of em were in the same week in stuttgart arkansas..

Man u right after you kill that first band it seems they do come easier. After you kill the first one its not if you killed one that year but how many.

lol it sure does seem that way..so far i got 3 in louisiana and 3 in arkansas...3 mallards in 2 years in arkansas...and 1 wood duck..one cinnamon teal and one blue wing teal here in La..

My first band was actually a woodduck I shot when I was about 8yrs old in the canal behind my house with a pellet gun. I got lucky and got a early start on the jewelry.

haha thats awesome, ive shot a few with a pellet gun none with bands

ok im not supposed to tell anybody this..but i know a person who shot a mexican whistler the other day in a drainage canal..and it was banded....so he killed the other one since it was a pair..and it was banded too...hahaha...and then he ate them..is that some sorry azz luck or what..
